Most veteran Lollapaloozians know that the real party starts when the festival closes each night.
Many of the official after-shows and parties are sold out, but Do312.com has the comprehensive list of which sets still have tickets available.
Beyond that, some of the city's usual nightspots have special programming for the weekend, including performances, appearances and DJ sets by Lollapalooza performers.
If you don't catch Outkast Saturday night at Lollapalooza, Big Boi will be performing later in the evening at Parliament nightclub. Doors open at 9 p.m. and there's a $20 cover charge or reserve a table by calling (312) 380-0004.
